position at the forefront of the industry lightly: it has always strived to improve and develop new and more efficient technologies. This has been achieved by maintaining a robust new product development program over many decades. Kwikot’s commitment to quality has been proven by the fact that it was the first company to manufacture electric water heaters to the South African National Standards specification (SANS 151) – previously the South African Bureau of Standards. It was also the first company to obtain the SABS 600kPa mark of approval. The company has been associated with the South African Bureau of Standards for over 60 years.
